Congrats on having a Maltese mix for this long! I'm not sure how long they live... I've been told that a Malt. can live up to 17-18 years... it all depends on how well you take care of them. I can tell she's very loved! I knew a neighbor who had one for almost 20 years. Good luck! and congratulations!
